Study investigates the moonlighting habits of self-financing college librarians in Kerala Stratified random sampling was utilized in the calculation of sample size conducted using Slovin formula and it shows that 261 randomized samples from all sectors. A web-based survey combining demographic variables and questions of moonlighting was circulated to all the librarians in six universities under completely self-financing scheme, covering a total 776 colleges. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, but the qualitative information which emerged with key discoveries were explored by thematic analysis. The paper analysed gender and the practice of moonlighting, then the interrelationships with age group, academic course completion year, professional experience and type of colleges. In the multivariable analysis after controlling for age, level of education, and type of college, married status was no longer associated with moonlighting. To help the profession learn more about additional work that many academic librarians do outside of their regular job, this study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of moonlighting among librarians in diverse college settings, informing strategies to support and manage these activities within the profession.
